When William McKenna, Michael McKenna, and Ray Carnation (the Courageous Three) reported discrimination and corruption in the Philadelphia Police Department, they suffered acts of retaliation by supervisors and were terminated. A Federal Jury rendered a decision in their favor. The jury decided these officers were terminated because they had reported discrimination and corruption. The jury also determined the Philadelphia Police Department (by way of its employees John Maroney and Captain William Colarulo), was culpable. Both supervisors have been promoted and none have suffered any disciplinary sanctions by the Philadelphia Police Department.
William Colarulo is a Chief Inspector in the Philadelphia Police Department and has applied for the position of Police Superintendent of Radnor Township Pennsylvania. In William Colarulo's resume, submitted to Radnor Township, he lists among others, Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams, and Mayor Michael Nutter as references.
Why would these officials submit a reference of support for an officer named by a Federal Jury as a participant in retaliatory acts taken against honest officers that reported discrimination and corruption?
These issues will be discussed in detail by our guests (The Courageous Three) William McKenna, Michael McKenna, and Ray Carnation.
